A MOTHER of the bride has written a brutal letter about the maid of honour – and her comments will shock you.

The savage letter, which was sent in to the Dear Prudence column on Slate, starts off innocently enough – with the mum explaining how her daughter recently got engaged and the maid of honour is “like a daughter” to her.

The mother didn’t want the bridesmaids to look ‘unsightly’ because of the maid of honour

The mum described how her 27-year-old daughter and her friend Katie had been the best of friends since the age of four, with Katie spending plenty of time round their house.

He recently engaged daughter had decided that pal Katie would be the maid of honour but, despite their closeness, the mum had a problem with her being part of the bridal party – for a very specific reason.

The mum added: “The problem is that Katie walks with a pretty severe limp due to a birth defect.

“She has no problem wearing high heels and has already been fitted for the dress, but I still think it will look unsightly if she’s in the wedding procession limping ahead of my daughter.”

The mum then adds than she had suggested to her daughter that Katie could maybe “take video or hand out programs (while sitting) so she doesn’t ruin the aesthetic aspect of the wedding.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the mum then revealed that her daughter is no longer speaking to her – but that the pair were “never that close”.
